WAXING-AND PoLIsHIivG DEVICE Applicationi filed-Tune c, 1932,.'SerialNo. 615,754.

' The object of the invention is to provide a device for eithercommercial or domestic use first apply wax to a floor,

ing operation by the simple expedient of inverting the device; toprovide a device of the kind ways available by providing a large 'sourceof supply, so that the periodic application of wax may be unnecessary;to-provide awaxing device the means having the additionalfunction of abumper to" precludedamage in theevent device with the wall surfurniture;and generally to provide a waxer and polisher which is of simple ofimpact of the face'or with form and therefore susceptible of cheapmanufacture; l i I v With this object ill- View, the invention of partsof which a preferred embodiment is illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings wherein:

The invention comprises a waxing head 10 and a polishing 'head' 11positioned respectively at the remote ends of a cylindrical member 12which constitutes a wax magazine ior reservoir or chamber. The waxinghead 10 is preferably of annular or ring form and indicated whichincorporates a wax: chamber or magazinethatwill make wax al that willeifectan'even and thin spreadof the wax; to provide a COIlStI'IlCtlOIl'employing a fabric,

is peripherally grooved, the cylindrical mam ber 12be1ng received in theeye or opening of the ring. Thus the wax chamber which. the cylindricalmember defines has its bottom inthe'plane of the under face of thewaxing head and this bottom would be opened were it not for the factthat the fabric 14 which is stretched across the'head closes it. The ffab ic 1a is preferably cheesecloth and may i be in one or'more layersori'pl'ies, depending on how fast it is desiredto apply thewax,

' The fabric is ret'ained in place by means of they elastic, ring 15which seats ;in' the peripheral groove. of the head. The fabric may thusbev stretched, and fretain'ed such stretched condition, the ring 15inaddition 7 to' functioning as 'a retainer, serving as a bumper toprevent impact of the head with wall surfaces or the furniture when thehead Wax application "s'hadbf charging the cylinder 12 with the desiredjamountof waxwhich is disposed directly on top of the cloth I .or fabric14 and this wax isfed through the v a block 16 made if V latter bymeansof a pressure preferably-of cast iron and of su'flicient thick Vness to provide the necessary Weight,"f the block' being freely movablein the cylinder vertically; i

The handle 'theblock, the bail carrying collar, 20 disgBBi clearanceslot in the bracket therewill' be no relative lateral movement betweenthe block and bail. Clearance slots 21 are provided 'at diamet-' posedin the slots the bail moves to permit direct appli-' cation to the waxcontents of the weight of the upper end of the cylinder,

7 The polishing member 11 acts as a closure to the upper end'of thecylinder andis re movably latched to the latter, being provided withbrackets 22 in which spring actuated 160 by which ,n1ove1nent, of the Ihead over the floor surface is effected is'coni 2 to maintain the latchpins 23 are mounted. These latch pins ripheral binding 27 of rubber orthe like and carries a block 28 or the like in which the bristles 29 aremounted.

handle, a ferrule 30 is mountedon the lower end of thehandle and thearms of the bail have the extremities bent as of 31 inserted intheprotrudingend of the ferrule where 2 the outturned ends 32 'pass throughopenings or holes in the ferrule. A key member 33 inserted in theprotruded end of theferrule betweenthe bent terminals of the bail andpinned to the ferrule as indicated at 84, serves engagement of the bailWith the ferrule.

' The polishing head is provided at diametrically opposite sides withbail seats 35 in which the bailengages' when the device is 30inverted'for polishing.

' J The latch pinsprovi'de forreadily removing the polishing head andwhen this is done, the cylinder may be charged with wax after removingthe 'n essurebleck; A half or full 351 box of wax, having been placed inthe cylin- IW der, the pressure blockis replaced and the polishing headreattached. The waxing op eration may then bejproceeded with, the headbeing. moved back and forth across the floor (it), throughtheinstrumentalityof the handle 17 and the block 16 applying pressuretoforce the wax through the fabric or clothla. The waxing operation havingbeen completed, polishing is accomplished by inverting the 4g -head todispose the polishing head clownwardly when the'weight of the block istransferred direct to the head by the bail engaging seats 35 in thelatter. The handle then serves as a'means for ren'ioving the head to figcarry out the polishing operation as it did the waxing operation.

What is claimed as new and useful is: l. A floor waxing devicecomprising a waxing head formed with an open bottomed 5s'wax receivingchamber, a fabric'stretched 0 across the head and closing the chamber atthe bottom, a weight slidably disposed in the chamber for theapplication of pressure to any wax contents thereof, and a handle to pimpart sliding movement to the waxingi head, the wax chamber havmg a,removable closure disposed above said weightprovided with bristles0I1'1tS top face to constitute a To effect connection between the bailand her, a pressure block dimensional according to the chamber andslidably mounted therein on any wax contents of the chamber, a handlehaving a swinging'mounting with the pressure block, a removable closurefor the upper end of the wax chamber, and said closure on its upper facebeing provided with bristles, the waxing. head being invertibletodispose thebristles downwardly forpolislr ing.

,3. A polishing device comprising a ring like polishing headformed witha central: 1y disposed cylindrical wax receiving cham= ber open at itsbottom, a fabric stretched across and peripherally secured to the headandclosing the bottom of the chamber, a

pressure block slidably mounted in thechamher for the application ofpressure to the waX contents thereof, a handle, a bail having a swingingconnection with the pressure block and passing through vertical slots inthe Wall of the wax chamber, the bail being connected with the handle,and a bristle carrying member releasablyconnected with the wax cham= herand closingthe' latter at .the top, the c0nnection between the bail andpressure block permitting inversion of the head todispose thebristlecarrying member downwardly forpolishing.

t. A polishing device comprising a ring like polishing head formed witha centrally disposed cylindrical wax receiving chamber open at itsbottom, a fabric stretched across andperipherally secured to the headand, 7

closing the bottom .of the chamber, a pressure block slidably mounted inthe chamber for-the application of pressure to the wax contents thereof,a handle, a bail having a swinging connection with the pressure blockand passing through vertical slots in the Wall of the wax chamber, thebail being connected.

with the handle and a bristle carryin member releasably connectedwithlthe waxchama her and closing the latter at the top, the

connection between the bail and pressure block permitting inversion ofthe head to dispose the bristle carrying member down wardly forpolishing, the latter having seats for engagement with the bail in theinverted position of the head to transfer the weight of the pressureblock directly to the bristle carrying member.
